OK, this'll probably last five minutes because "ice" is probably American for some unpleasant anatomical feature, but in UK, ice is generally taken in Gin and Tonics and similar, but few other alcoholic drinks. It doesn't feature in most hotel rooms - a pleasant surprise when I visited the US is how you all take it for granted and it's everywhere. Most civilised. However, in bars and restuarants here you only have to ask, and yes, some will ask you. It's there, but not everywhere as in Bushville (which may be a primary sexual characteristic in the US, apologies if so).
If in Scotland, you may ask for ice in your whisky, but one or two lumps - we spent 1000 years perfecting the drink, it would be nice if you could taste it.
Oh, and we don't have any heat of the day. We live in the northern hemosphere.
If hemisphere isn't a sweary-word. Blimey, it's the dark side all over again.
